How does Qi technology work?

For all the nerdy queens out there: wireless charging is powered by Qi technology. Both your phone and wireless charger contain copper coils. When you place your phone on the charger, the coils interact and create a magnetic field. That field generates electricity — and boom, your phone charges. Super cool, right?
